Beloit Junior/Senior High contacted Rod Garman, an administrator at KSHSSA (Kansas State High School Activities Association), to have Kate Garnes speak at BJSHS on September 25 about self-perception. As a motivational speaker, actor, DJ, and author, Garnes shared personal stories, including about her father and how her friends reacted to her experiences. She also discussed the events that followed their reactions. Later, she persuaded everyone to avoid negativity and to be positive with themselves.
“She was very good, energetic, and had a good self-image towards everyone. She was a good motivator, she came in and impacted Beloit, and left a good image on herself, and was nice to have,” junior Colton Adolph stated.
